Alta Langa
DOCG Riserva - Blanc de Noir
Savory, complex and harmonious
Elegance: pure Pinot Noir with zero dosage.
Fresh softness, a very fine perlage and a broad and persistent bouquet.
Grape variety
Pinot Noir grown in Guyot with sustainable viticulture.
Winemaking
Soft pressing of the whole grapes and flotation for the natural clarification of the must in an inert environment (nitrogen).
Start of the slow alcoholic fermentation that lasts about 1 month at 14°C and ends with the permanence on thin lees for 2 months during which the wine acquires richness and volume.
Tirage
The secondary fermentation is carried out with a very slow re-fermentation in the bottle, characteristic of the Classic Method in the spring of the year following the harvest, usually during a waxing moon.
During the maturation in the bottle for over 48 months, the lees are brought back into suspension at least twice with the traditional rapid shaking (Coupé de Poignet). At the end of this period, the bottles are placed upside down for final disgorging.
Disgorging and Zero Dosage
The refined completeness that Pinot Noir can express after long ageing on the lees of the classic method reaches its peak when it is pure.
To respect these prerogatives, we produce exclusively our Alta Langa from Pinot Noir grapes as a Zero Dosage Reserve.
Pairings
Excellent as an aperitif at any time of the day; At the table he prefers above all fish, shellfish, shells and in general all seafood cuisine.

Tasting notes
